one issue with razr maxx

[ttens]

Ok. I've had the phone a few days now and am liking it overall.

What really stinks though...the camera! I believe the specs are comparable to the dinc2 but I can't get a decent picture. Ugh. I downloaded camera mx but still no luck. Looks like I have to go back to carrying my point and shoot. Bummer.

I know some will say this isn't a big deal but it is for me

Oh yeah. I can't log into my listy from my phone either for some annoying reason.

What problems are you having with the camera?

 

[ttens]

The pictures are so blurry and almost pixilated. If you have a solution I well be ever so grateful!

Try HDR Camera+

 

[ttens]

Lanhoj...will do if I have to. It is a paid app and not expensive but I will wait a bit to see if it is a setting or some other dopey thing

I would say some how the camera is not doing a auto focus before you snap the picture :banghead:

Make sure the focus target has formed a complete square before taking the picture. It should beep when it's focused.

That shouldn't be normal for these cameras. Def make sure square is green prior to snapping the pic to focus. Make sure all your settings are set correct. I even make sure the lens is clean prior to taking the picture. Here is a pic from my camera, all settings set to factory default.
Also check to make sure the camera is set to it highest resolution.

It is either a setting or something is wrong with it. I have had great pictures every time. Better than low end point and shoots.

I noticed that the stock camera takes the pic the instant you touch the virtual button. For me, I would nudge the phone a hair as I touched it causing it to be moving and as a result blurry. I tried a few different apps and have settled on the "ICS Camera +". It does an auto focus after you press. Also, I forget to wipe the lens. It gets smudgy and seems to need a quick wipe every time.

 

[tlacour]

It's actually "Camera ICS+"

 

[anthony2558]

Instead of just tapping the button to take the pic, try push, hold, then release. This way it will somewhat stop you from that initial tap (shake) when taking the picture thus leading to better pics.

Thank you all for your suggestions! I'll work on trying them out and let you know if I continue to have issues. I took a few test pictures outside and most look pretty ok.

I was wondering about a few things...
- What are your settings on? I have the wide screen 8MP image not checked. If I check it it says 6 mp image to match the screen. Should I check or uncheck?
- I have been seeing that green box so that's good.
- Someone said to ensure I set the settings to increase the resolution. I left the default settings but am not sure where to do that for the camera using the stock camera.

I am thankful for all of your input and to know that the camera on this phone doesn't stink overall. I just have to get it right PHEW,

Did you try the free version first or just bought it?

Also, how do you wipe the lens (I'm a klutz and don't want to hurt it )

when it says 8MP then your on 8 MP (the highest) checking the box would put you on 6MP. Deafault setting are good. Just remember you can change them to suit your needs.


I use my shirt to clean the lens.

I have taken some very nice pictures with my maxx. Low light pics are a challenge...I like the hold the button down then let go tip. I have had a few blurry pics because of hitting the button quickly. I'm just using the default camera app... Here are a couple from our trip to the beach over Memorial day weekend.

Thanks! Got a bunch of decent pictures today. I appreciate the help as always!

Try CameraMX for a good auto focus and editing the picture after and try Fast Burst Camera for super fast pictures. Both work pretty dang good.
